Estoy totalmente convencida de que 2019 fue el último año normal que tuvimos. Desde entonces, parece que todo está roto. Todos están constantemente ansiosos, el tiempo pasa demasiado rápido y nada parece real. El mundo como lo conocíamos simplemente desapareció.
The smoked mummies of Papua New Guinea, discovered in the Anga region of Morobe Province, reveal an ancient and unique method of body preservation. In this tradition, bodies are carefully cleaned, wrapped in tree bark, and then smoked over a fire for weeks. The slow process causes the mummies to turn black as they dry, creating a lasting physical connection to the deceased. This practice is deeply rooted in the belief that preserving the body helps maintain a connection to the spirit of the departed.
The Anga people view this preservation ritual as an important part of honoring the dead. By smoking the bodies, they believe they are maintaining a link between the physical world and the spiritual realm. The mummification process is not just a method of burial but a spiritual practice meant to respect and remember the deceased, ensuring their presence continues within the community.
First brought to global attention in the 1960s by anthropologist Ronald Berndt, the smoked mummies remain an important aspect of Papua New Guinea’s cultural heritage. Their discovery and the continued fascination with them have drawn worldwide interest, offering valuable insight into the unique traditions and beliefs of the Anga people. These mummies stand as a testament to the depth and complexity of ancient practices that have endured through the centuries.
